Jm | 9 years ago | Reply reply to Mr.Allah Dad It's good to have law above everything but where was the law at the time of Ayub, Yahya, Zia. There judiciary sided with Gen. Musharraf and he is the one who gave liberty to media. He did many good thing one of them was to get terrorists out of Lal Masjid right inside Idlamabad terrorists were being harbored. And army personal lost lives from the hands of these terrorists.
